Dumbest thing you ever did in flight.

I was in flight from Minatitlán to Mexico City in a Cessna 206. The bad thing about that specific flight is that it crosses the Sierra Madre Oriental
which is a mountain chain that gets as high as 19,000 feet. Since the 206 is not pressurized I had to do a VFR flight so I could find my way through
the mountains without reaching the ceiling of the plane. I had done it many times before and going towards that mountain wall with a little prop plane
is always scary but this time I couldn't make it, yeah, because somehow I screwed with the controls while trying to lean the mix a bit more and ended
with a dead prop. I was very close to the ground and the stall warning came right before I made my little mistake. My heart bounced in desperation and
I banged all the keys I knew but in less than 10 seconds we were on the ground. Too sad. The crew died but the passenger survived. It felt very realistic.


The little Cessna trying its best...

The very last shot of the flight. A sad endig for a recently purchased aircraft.

I tried to do the same flight a couple of days later and when I approached the mountain range I was so traumatized that had to do a whole 180 -Han
Solo style for the SW fans out there- hehe, it was so pathetic, but I found a little spot and came right through and succeded.

Other classic stupid things: forget to turn on the seatbelt lights before turning a bit too fast and everyone ended upside down. Resetting a perfect
flight while trying to close the cowl flaps with a keyboard shortcut. Messing with FS settings after parking a 3 hour perfect flight and making the
sim crash right before I ended the
flight...
